Configuring the ODBC control panel
Configuring the ODBC control panel can vary depending on which
driver you’re using.
Here are general steps to configure the ODBC control panel:
1. Choose the ODBC driver that will work with your data source.
2. Specify the data source and data source options (for example, the
Salespeople and Sales_Data files).
3. If necessary, specify the tables you’ll be importing from and the
column names.
For this example, we’ll configure the data source in the ODBC Example
folder using the INTERSOLV Text driver.
Choosing the driver and data source
These instructions assume you have an ODBC driver installed. To install
the INTERSOLV evaluation ODBC drivers, see the previous section.
1. In the User DSN tab of the ODBC control panel (called 32bit ODBC
in Windows and ODBC Setup PPC in the Mac OS), click Add.
2. Select the type of driver to work with.
Windows:
Choose the INTERSOLV 32-BIT TextFile.
Mac OS:
Choose INTERSOLV Text PPC.
